Once upon a time, there was a powerful and feared Kingdom. The Queen of the Kingdom had gave birth to twin children, a beautiful baby girl, and a very handsome baby boy. However the Twins fathers decided that the two heirs were to much, and decided the twins were to be separated when they were 7, This is how the story to their lives began.
Two children sat outside the large palace, sitting on the grassy hill of the garden, the boy, a young prince had shoulder length red hair and brilliant crimson eyes to match, his clothes dawned of a white, short sleeved shirt and a black tye, and black pants. Along with black boots, he was putting together something, his back to the girl who was trying to peek over his shoulder. The girl's face and hair resembled his. Her hair was black and a tiny bit shorter then her brothers though, she wore a black dress with white trimmings and a yellow rose was in her hair. "Karai-Niisan what are you making?" she asked, still trying to get a peek.
"Hold on Imoto-chan" he said "Almost got it...Done!" he held up a crown weaved together by grass. He held it out to her, smiling brightly and innocently "Happy Birthday Imoto-chan!" he laughed.
"Niisan its very pretty" she laughed, reaching out, grabbed the paper crown. Kissing her brothers cheek.
"Gah! Ayame!" he said, blushing from embarrassment, making Ayame giggle.
"Young Master." A voice said, the twins turned to see their father, the king of the country, His black hair slicked back, clothes made from the finest silk. Next to him stood a maid with short purple hair and the required maids dress, they walked and each picked up one of the twins. Thier father picked up Karai "Its time to come back to the palace. Maid. Take her with you."
"Yes Mi'Lord" the maid said
"Wait! Father! Why isn't Imoto-chan coming back to the castle with us!" Karai said, thrashing around in his fathers grip.
"Father did I do something!? Tell me what I did! I'll fix it!" Ayame cried, trying to get away from the maid.
The twins were pulled away from each other, the grass crown the young prince had made broken in half while they tried to hold on to it to attempt to keep from being torn apart from each other. The protests of the young girl in her arms, broke the maids heart. But she kept quiet about it.
That tragic event happened 10 years ago, no one ever told the princess why she had been banished from the kingdom. The king and queen had eventually died from sickness. The Young Prince, now took his place on the throne.
The woman who had raised the ex princess for years stood with her outside of the Prince..well now the Kings throne room. Ayame started at the door, wearing a male servants outfit, her hair grew longer, she had it tied back in a ponytail with a yellow band.
"Now remember." The woman spoke "Do not address and look at the king directly. Simply kneel, and wait for him to address you. If he does it kindly. It will mean he accepts you has his personal servant." she said.
'It feels so awkward being in this palace after so long.' she thought, not paying attention to the woman
"Ayame! Pay attention. I haven't put up with your ass for 10 years just to let this moment go by!" the woman snapped, a sharp smack hitting the girl in the head.
She winced "Sorry. Sorry." she rubbed her head, the doors of the throne room opened
"Enter." Came the young princes voice, he had changed so much. In only his looks she hoped. His hair was longer, almost reaching down to his mid back, it stopped just short. It was pulled up into a messy ponytail with a green hair ribbon. He wore almost the same thing has he had has a child, only the sleeves had been longer and he added a cape. It was cute and childish. "What do you want?" he said.
"Your royal and imperial highness. I bring to you one of the finest servants raised in your fathers court." The woman spoke, Karai simply turned his head away, not even giving the girl a glance.
"That old fool? I will have nothing to do with any of the old kings...property. Please send her away." he said, waving his hand.
"Your majesty. If I could please have your attention for just a moment!" Ayame said, walking forward and bowing.
"Why you litt-" Karai started to speak, but when he got a good look at the girl, his eyes widened.
"I have no love for the old King. And if you so wish it, my loyalty and my very soul shall belong and serve only you." She said. He stared at her for a moment, before looking at the woman and a guard who always sat by his side.
"You two. Leave us in peace." He spoke to them
"But your masj-"
"Get. Out." he said, both gave a quick bow, and left the throne room has fast has their legs could carry them. He rose quietly from his throne, walking towards the girl.
"Your Majesty?" she blinked, then gave a small yelp has she was pulled into a practical death hug by her brother.
"Its you.." he muttered "Oh thank god I thought you had been killed, I thought I never see you again!"
She chuckled a little, hugging back before slipping out of the grip "Now now your majesty. Its out of character to show kindness towards me a simple servant" she laughed.
-Several months later-
"I still can't believe it! He remembered me! My brother remembered me!" Ayame laughed, giving the woman the biggest smile she could muster. She stood in the center of town square with the woman.
"Is that why he's kept you to himself these past few months?" the woman grumbled
"Well he is the King. He keeps quite busy, so has his servant I must be there to answer to his every single wish" she said smiling.
"Tch. Yes keeps busy with all that snack time and those little sluts lying around the kin-" the woman was cut off when Ayame smacked her for once.
"You will watch your tongue. That is your King your speaking so poorly about! Now if you excuse me. I have things I need to prepare. Nothing shall ruin his birthday." she said, walking off, with a scowl on her face. Every time someone upset her, she always had a tendency to act pissy for the rest of the day. She had to of course stop this habit, after all things needed to be done. Lets see...His outfit for tonight was shown together, she spoke with the cooks, made up the guest list...what else was she mis-BAM. She groaned a bit has she ran into something.
"Oh sorry." Someone said, a hand reaching down to help her up "Are you okay?"
"Oh yes I'm fine." she laughed, taking the persons hand, she looked up at them to get a better look. He was defiantly not from this country. He seemed like he was from the green kingdom, at least because of his outfit. His black hair spiked out a bit at the side, he pulled her up.
"Still sorry." he muttered, bending down to pick up some papers
"Again, its fine" she laughed, then bent back down "Oh sorry, let me get this for you" she said, helping him grab the papers.
"So..your a servant of the 'white' kingdom correct?" he said
"Why yes yes I am, my names Ayame." she said smiling at him, her cheeks glowing pink, she felt her stomach jumping up and down just looking at him.
"Sander Berkshire" he said, standing back up "Nice to meet yo-"
"Sander!" Someone called, a teenage girl with long white hair and red pinkish eyes, wearing a blue dress, she had to be from the blue kingdom. She came and hooked her arms around on of his "There you are~! Why is every where we go you always disappear at least once?" she laughed
"Sorry Salvia. I won't let it happen again" he said, smiling a almost forced little smile.
"Are you two visiting?" Ayame asked, smiling at the couple
"Oh no, we're here has guests of the kings" the girl named Salvia smiled "Come on my love we must get going now, have to get ready!"
"Of course" he said, waving goodbye to Ayame has he and Salvia walked off. Her heart still pounding in her chest and her knees felt weak, she felt shocked she was still able to stand at all. Her legs wobbly she walked back to the castle. Still things to do.
-Karai's birthday party-
"Happy birthday my lord!" Ayame chimed smiling a little, her brother looked at her
"Well you knows its not only my bir-"
"Please. Prince, don't say another word, you just go and enjoy yourself and speak with your guests" she said, bowing to him and leaving to go and serve the guests. She picked up a tray of goodies and stood there, simply waiting for someone to call her over. She looked around. People seemed to be enjoying themselves at least, she found the party rather boring.
"Hey...aren't you the servant from earlier?" came a familiar voice, she looked to the owner
"Oh hi Sander, what bring you here?" she asked blinking
"Well I was invited, Salvia thought it would be rude not to come." he said shrugging
'wait...hes a prince?' she thought blinking "Well welcome I suppose. Would you like one?" she asked, holding out the tray filled with 'Brioche' he took the tray and set it down.
"Would you like to dance?" he asked, smiling a little
"H-huh?"
"I asked if the young princess would like to dance for her birthday" he laughed
"How did you...?"
"I saw you talking to the king, and thought you guys were siblings. And when he started mentioning it wasn't just his birthday I guessed you guys were twins."
"Are you physic?" she laughed
"Perhaps."
"I was kidding."
"I wasn't. So do you want to dance or no?" he asked, sounding a little impatient
"...Well I don't kn-" she was cut off by Sander
"Your dancing." he said, grabbing her hand and leading her out to where other nobles were enjoying a nice slow dance. He began leading her in a dance, she let a giggle slip has he was kind clumsy on his feet.
"For a prince your not a very good dancer" she laughed
"You don't seem very good at it either. Besides." he said, twirling her around "I never payed much attention to those dancing lessons anyway" he shrugged.
Karai was dancing with Salvia and turned his head seeing Ayame and Sander 'what the fu-' he was cut off from his thoughts
"I just wanted to say again, thank you for inviting me and Sander lord Karai!" Salvia said again smiling
"Oh its no problem my fair lady" he replied smiling "But you know what. Why don't you make this my best birthday ever by becoming my queen?" he asked, being completely straight forward with his question.
"Oh...well Lord Karai, I can't I'm already betrothed to my beloved Sander" she said
"Oh I see" he said looking away "How foolish of me for asking." his attention went back to Ayame and Sander, the young green prince was dipping Ayame, he just stared, Ayame was smiling, like she was in love with the fool! How come he couldn't make her smile like that? He was her brother, HE was suppose to be the only one she shown that smile to. Him and no one else. He without a word walked out of the ballroom.
Ayame noticed this, then winced has Sander just dropped her on the floor "Ow!" she was about to say some very un-lady like things but her prince came first. She got up and went after Karai "Wait mi-lord" she called after him.
"Sander...Why did you drop her? I thought I was gonna get to dance with her" a man dressed in a white suit said
"Not my fault she ran off. Maybe because your so unattractive Kimblee."
"I will have you know that i-"
"Calm down. I was just kidding."
-With Ayame and Karai-
"Mi-lord are you alright?" Ayame asked, has she approached the prince, who seemed to be shaking with anger
"H-how dare he!" he snapped "That should be my engagement to the blue princess! Why him? Why!? I'm way better! Get rid of him and his damned country!"
"Prince calm down if she is to be his wif-!" she had started to say, before Karai had smacked her hard across the face
"Who the hell do you think you are!? I am the King. YOU are MY servant! You do what I want! And I want him and his country gone! Do. . ?" he said
She touched her cheek where she been slapped, she looked at the floor "Yes Mi-Lord...forgive me for speaking out of tongue like that." she said
"Good." he smirked, walking off to enjoy the rest of his party. The servant girl reached up and whipped her eyes a little bit, leaving the corridor to arrange the Princes army. Why would he be so cruel has to do thi- No. He wasn't cruel, he never was. He was the most innocent person he knew, he had his reasons for this attack didn't he? He never did anything without a good reason after all, but still why did her heart tell her it was wrong to kill the Prince of Green? Why did her heart tell her she would regret this description?
-Attack of the Green nation-
He looked at his burning country, having fled to the only place he knew would possibly be the safest, the tree out by that old well where he first met his friend. He sighed, him and Kimblee were separated when the army first attacked, now he had no idea where his friend had gone.
"Excuse me Lord Sander." came a voice, he looked behind him, Ayame stood there, in her servants uniform and a black hooded cloak on, with white roses wrapping around the bottom
"Ayame? What the hell is going on!" he said, he knew that armor those soldiers were wearing. They were defiantly from the Kingdom of White.
"Well...Sander." she said, dropping the lord, "You have caught my kings attention in the worst possible...way." the long sleeves of her cloak hiding the royal dagger in her hand.
"...i see" he said, stepping forward quietly, she walked forward the dagger slowly becoming visible in her hand
"Please. Forgive me." she said, in a quick motion, stabbed the knife into the young green prince's chest.
"Can I only ask...why?"
"Because...he is my prince and I am his servant. If he wishes for it, I will kill, I will let my soul be damned to hell only for him." she said, walking away, leaving the green prince with his own dying thoughts, so she could escape, escape before he could see the fact she was crying. And she didn't know why...she had killed plenty of times before, but with him it had been different. To watch him die would have been to much for her to even bare witness, she just couldn't do it, he made her feel so different. Had...had she been in love?
-Some time later...-
Salvia ran and pushed her way through the debris of the nearly burnt done country, stepping over burned, unrecognizable corpses. Sander had to still be alive didn't he? He wouldn't of died from an attack...well it was very surprised attack. But still he couldn't of died.
He always told her his 'foolproof' plan in case of an attack against his country, he'd hide in the woods. It would be so simple, no one would of known he had gone there. She headed there towards the woods and looked for him "Sander! Sander! Where are yo-" she cut off, staring at the body lying there by the well, a knife embedded in her loves chest, a smile on his now pale blue lips. She felt tears brim in her eyes. "Who did this...who would of..." she bent down next to his corpse, tracing the rose marking of the dagger "This...this isn't my country's or his country's dagger...this is from the white country..." she muttered "They did this? Why would they..."
She felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked up to see a man she didn't know in a white suit. He quietly explained to her what had happened. Said he knew someone who could help them get their revenge. That's exactly what had to be done. Not only for his country but for the white kingdoms country has well. First, they had to give Sander a proper burial and then find someone...
-With Ayame and Karai-
Ayame walked inside the dining room, the smell of burnt food drawing the blood stained girl in. Karai was in some old commoner clothes and was setting down a plate of brioche, ash on his cheek, he noticed and turned to speak to her, his eyes widened has he saw the blood that covered her clothes
"So the Prince of Green is...dead?" he said, she nodded "Yes of course my prince, you wished it...hes gone." she said, her tear strains on her face has well, her eyes red and swollen. Karai only smirked, like he had been imagining the death
"Perfect~! Go clean up and we'll share some tea and brioche! After all I am to be wed very soon~!" he laughed, she nodded her head leaving and changing her clothes, coming back and sharing the brioche with her brother. Smiling and laughing has he always did, so innocent...
"Ayame are you okay? You seem kinda distant"
"Yes Mi-Lord I am fine. Just tired."
"Well go rest up. You have some off time. You deserve it." Karai said, getting up, and kissing his sister gently on the forehead. She nodded, standing up and walking off towards her room, a good sleep. Just what she needed to forget this happened. She walked to her room and flopped down onto the bed mat, curling up and drifting into a semi peaceful sleep.
To her the prince had made this country great, he would always remain pure like the color white, always innocent. But now, his country would fall. All because she was his servant.
-In a local bar-
"Can you believe what the prince has done to the country of green? Unbelievable!"
"And all because the blue princess wouldn't marry him! What a despicable man."
The purple haired male sighed, listening to the gossip. He wore the a plate of red armor with a white rose on the front. He had been a leader of the army that destroyed the green country, of course he hadn't down very many destroying, instead ordering his troop to get has many survivors from the city has possible. The green prince hadn't done anything wrong, all he did was be engaged to a princess the white prince was fond of. Then again...could there of been a deeper reason for the unprovoked attack? Of course not. When the prince had wanted something, he made sure he got it.
"Excuse me." a voice said, he looked behind, staring at the peanut gallery behind him, the male he recognized, it was the only survivor he could get out of the Green country. He said his name was...Kimblee, yea that was it, still wearing the clothes he wore when the country had been attacked. And the girl, he didn't know. White hair hanging down, bright blue armor and a fencing sword, the point gleaming in the reflection of the moonlight. She was sniveling, he could tell by her one visable eye that she holding back her own tears.
"What do you want?" he asked bitterly.
"We need your help." the white haired girl said.
"We need to take down the white prince. And your the only one we can turn to." Kimblee said. He stared at them like they were the source of crazy, yes he had a personal vendetta with the prince. He had taken away the two people he had loved the most, he had his cousin has a personal dog. And had personally made him watch the murder of his lover, Kyo. He stared at them
"Has he taken someone from you has well?" he questioned
"..yes" they both sighed. Kimblee held out a sword to him "Please. Fight against him." he said. Kira looked at the particular peanut gallery. He reached out and took the sword hilt.
"Fine." he stood up sword at his side, "People! Listen. Tonight will be the princes end! I know we all have personal problems with him. And after what he has done to the green country, his soldiers will be tired and weak! This is the time to strike! Those of you who are brave. Follow us. Those of you who wish to be coward. Stay here and be prepared for the kings execution." he said, most people of the bar rose up with him, even some elderly and young. The ones who stayed down, were women expecting a child, and those men who were to cowardly but talked a big game. He looked to his little revolution, it would be enough wouldn't it?
"We have my army has well." The white girl spoke, has if sensing his distress. So she was the blue kingdom princess.
"Good. Now. Everyone. Follow me." he said, leading everyone from the bar and towards the kings castle.
-With the King and his Servant-
Karai stared out the window of his bedroom has the rebellion approached. The sad thing was...they weren't even fighting, the guards had given in and joined the rebellion. Those who were sworn to protect him. All abandoned him, all except for his personal servant, his own sister. "Ayame. Please leave. They will kill you if they see you here has well." he said, looking to his sister.
"No Prince." she said, she had to save him, he was her twin. But there wasn't a way to get him out of the castle without the rebellion knowing he escaped...unless...she fooled them. With a very brilliant lie. Why her king was distracted, she went to his closet and put on a pair of his clothes. When Karai turned to face her again, he blinked
"Ayame what are you doing? Change back and leave." he said
"I can't do that prince. I know how to save you." she muttered, picking up her clothes and shoving them into his hands, draping her cloak around his shoulders. "Please, change into my clothes and run." she said, pulling his green hair tie out of his hair and taking out the yellow band that held hers in its ponytail. "The fact the king has died...it will protect you from suspicious eyes." She tied her hair into a high ponytail and smiled.
"Please you don't have to do this! Please!" he said, Ayame smiled a little bit
"I know that. I want to do this. Has my final act of guarding my prince." she smiled has she quickly opened the one way passage to outside through the back way of the castle "Don't worry. We're twins. Surely no one will tell the difference." She kissed her brothers forehead, shutting the entrance of the passage way, leaving Karai on the other side, a straight shot to the exit.
She walked to the throne room, to await the rebellion. When they finally came, the man in red armor, her cousin pointed the sword at her
"Prince its tim-!" he cut off, his eyes widing has he got a good look at her. He shook his head "Your end has come." he said
"Is this truly how you treat your own prince? How disrespectful." Ayame said, mimicking her brothers voice almost perfectly. She winced when the blue princess smacked her.
"Damned monster" Salvia spat "Slaughtering his entire country without even a sense of guilt!"
"I had my reasons" she smirked, her cheek growing red, Kira yanked the 'Prince' out of the throne and held the sword to his neck has he led her out of the kingdom and to a prison cell to await her execution.
-With Karai-
Karai leaned against the wall, trying to whip tears from his eyes. He had taken the time to put on his sisters clothes and hugged the cloak to him. What had he done? They were going to kill her...and he just let her take his place. How could he be that cruel...how could any of this happened...would it of happened if he had been different?
"Please...forgive me Ayame..." he muttered, standing up, blinking has he heard something rattle in the pocket of the cloak. He lifted it up and dug into the pocket, inside. There was some coin, a glass bottle,a paper roll, pencil, and the two half's of a paper crown. Maybe if he hurried he could get to her in time, get her to change places with him again, so he would die and not her. He took off down the pathway.
-In a dark and lonely prison cell-
Ayame sat in the cell, to await her own death. She glanced over the sound of the prison doors opening. She looked at the man in the red armor, Kira she smiled.
"What the hell are you doing Ayame!?" he said, has he grabbed her and shook her roughly "Why are you doing this!?"
"I missed you to!" she laughed
"Answer me! I raised you for 10 years damn it! Why would you do this for him!"
"I'm doing this for him. I will not sit back and let you kill an innocent man."
"Hes anything but."
"Hes my brother...my king. Its my duty to protect him." she breathed "You all turned against him. I was the only one left. I can't let him die."
"Tell me where he is. We will capture him. And he will be the one to die. Not you."
"I sent him off I know not where. And even if I did know. I'd never tell you."
"...fine." he said, releasing the grip on her shoulders "Its 5 minutes to the execution. Come with me. We'll see if you'll feel so...willing when you do face your execution." he said, walking towards the door. She obediently followed. An obedient dog to the end of her life...
-The Execution of the 'Prince of Evil'
She was pushed rather roughly on her knees, her head set in place between the boards of the guillotine. Kira began to read off her crimes. She yawned
"Boring~!" she giggled, receiving a glare, she continued to look out at the crowd, waiting for the bells to ring. Her eyes widened has she saw..him standing in the crowd. Her brother. She smiled directly at him, he stared at her, she couldn't see his eyes, hidden by the hood.
"Wait! Thats not the prince!" her brother cried out
The bells rang loudly, blocking out Karai's yell, with a proud smile, and her final breath. She spoke.
"Oh...its time for a snack!"
A loud slice echoed through the area has the 'prince' had been beheaded, cheers rang out from the crowd. However, one person fell on their knees, liquid spilling from their eyes, running down their cheeks. Choking noises coming from them. The 'Servant.'
Or rather, the true prince who, had stood and did nothing but call out when it was to late to save her life. People began to leave the scene, not cleaning the guillotine, after all royal blood now stained it. IT was a momentum.
Prince of Evil- "Ahahahaahahaha. Now. Kneel down to me!"
Once upon a time in a kingdom far away
A place where you were destined to stay
And who ruled from a palace of gold?
A young cunning prince, just 19 years old!
So many furniture littered his abode.
A loyal servant whose likeness surely showed
A stable where all his horses stayed
Everything belonged to him, it always be that way.
Do not fear if the money starts to lack.
Just take it from foolish people who wont fight back.
To those who say they'll bring me down.
Have you forgotten who wears the crown?
"Now. Kneel down to me."
Evil flowers, began to bloom that night
Leaving the kingdom with such fright
To the weeds who feel they belong
Will realize how much they were truly wrong
Servant of Evil-
Once upon a time there were two very happy twins
One of them he was the King and there the story begins
He was sitting at the top and he used to reign
He was always very cute, but the kingdom it was brute
If the world is vile and your make it your foe (Prince:At last your there and i cant comprehend)
There is just one thing i want you to know (Prince: And the bells they ring cause they know its the end)
I'll protect you and I will do as you please (Prince: You don't even bother to look at the crowd)
So you'll smile, feel happy and be at peace (Prince: You just smile and say my most favorite phrase out loud...)
"Oh its time for a snack~!"
He was the king of the country
She was a servant of his.
They were twins from the start that fate torn apart.
When the bells are ringing, the king starts to weep
He is wishing that sometime again..
They will meet.
